Have had lots of mothers who use them.  No issues.  Don't recommend before 3 weeks.

<A few years ago I saw a succession of mothers with circumferential cracks that weren't healing.  Invariably, these mothers were wearing bras that were a firm fit with a fashionably rounded shape over the nipple (and no extra space), and they using totally flat, cloth breast pads.  They'd bought them because they were sold by a breastfeeding organisation and so they assumed they were the best.  With little enough space for the nipple in the bra without flattening it, the flat pad further folded the nipple in on itself.>

This reminds me of the breast pads that are designed to inhibit MER.  One brand is Lily Padz.  I've always been cautious of them, thinking that leaking is the breast's safety valve of sorts.  I wonder how they impact nipple trauma.
